The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

Director: David Twohy
Starring: Vin Diesel, Judi Dench, Colm Feore, Karl Urban and Alexa Davalos
Certificate: 15
Genre:  SciFi Action 


The Chronicles of Riddick is the sequel of Pitch Black featuring the anti hero Riddick (Diesel). This time Riddick is being tracked down by an alien race called the Necromongers who want to rule every planet in the world. Leading the alien race is the Lord Marshal (Feore) who has been told that he will killed by a furien: another alien race. Unfortunately Riddick is the last Furien and he has been told by an elemental named Aereon (Dench) that he must kill  the Lord Marshal.Another Necromonger named Vaako (Urban) also wants to kill the Lord so that he can lead his people instead. The two survivors of Pitch Black are back including Jack (Davalos) - now named Kiera - who has become a killer to get glowing eyes like Riddick.


Many people were disappointed with The Chronicles of Riddick because it is so much different to Pitch Black. I thought this film was okay but it targets a different audience to its prequel which killed it. Pitch Black was definitely better but this film wasn't bad.


***Okay
